i'm not woeeied about being able to shoot left handed, cause i'm not ranged, i want to be able to pound stuff into the ground with my my left hand, and swing my blade of nyenthi'oris left handed



-----Power to all the lefties out there, maybe some day we will be able to have our in game characters be left handed just like us, maybe.-----

It's one of those things that fall under the category where the effort to get it implemented simply outweights the gain of the feature by far. I'm pretty sure that 95% of all players won't even notice that a given avatar is lefthanded or not. It's similar with those lovely little details as colored fingernails or earrings and stuff like that. I personal would love to see it in game. I'm sure many devs would love to see it in game, too. But I simply don't see it any time soon.



May the Force be with you all!

I'd imagine thatwhen they get dual-wielding in the game, it would just be a matter of switching the dominant arm of the character for holding weapons and stuff.


It might be an option then, or sometime thereafter. But the code and motion captures for left-handed stuff needs to get done first, which it should befor the dual-wielding capability.






But they will probably only do duel wielding for pistoleer, fencer and jedi and even then I'd expect the stances and animations for using two weapons to be completly different from the ones for using a single weapon so don't think it would help at all.

How hard can the lefhand coding be? Simply take the Character toon and mirror image them.

Single images can be mirrored in like a pico-second by any 386 series pc (kids, ask your parents), and since the image is presented by the local machine and not the server, running a mirror image would take no more computer effort, so dont worry about perforamce issues or server issues.


Half a days coding for one person to make a character switchable to right handed. 30 days of testing on TC. Roberts your cousins father.


Or am I way off?

Well I don't know how hard the coding would be but it would add to lag, another bit of information that needs to be sent to you about every person you meet in the game. Might still be worth it as one of my favorite parts of this game is the amount of customisation of your characters looks you can do but if something was to be added that uped lag would left or right handed be what we want or something like scars and tattoo's instead ?
